livered the opinion ot the United
States Supreme Court affirming judg
ment of the United States Circuit Court

in the case of Wm. E. Christian et al
appellants vs the Atlantic & North Car

questions decided. Of late a number of
cases involving the questions of the lia
bility of the State to be sued have
been brought before the Supreme
Court. The court is: of the opinion
that the State is an indispensable
party to any proceeding in equity in
which its property is sought to be
taken and subjected to the payment of
its obligation. This virtually decides
